"Wilderness is not a luxury but necessity of the human spirit" Edward Abbey

Overview

2 day self-supported bikepacking gravel ride based on the Badger Divide route which masterfully links several existing routes with one another to create a direct line, >90% off-road and rideable on adventure/gravel bikes, down the heart of Scotland from Inverness to Glasgow, cutting glen after remote glen. 5 timed segments over the 2 days.

Logistics

There is little to no food available up there (but we can use the kitchen) so you need to bring enough food with you from Fort Augustus for dinner and breakfast and we won't hit civilisation again until Killin (end of Segment 4)

Route

330km of the finest Scottish gravel linking Inverness to Glasgow over some of the UK's most remote geography

The route is based on Stu Allan's #thebadgerdivide route which links together a number of existing routes (The Great Glen Way, Corrieyairack Pass, West Highland Way, etc) to create a direct line from Inverness to Glasgow.
